AMD 3DNow! instructions finally extinct as LLVM compiler drops support

AMD’s near-ancient 3DNow! instructions have faded even further into obscurity.Open-source compiler LLVMis finally removing support for the set of instructions that hasn’t been supported by AMD’s CPUs since 2011. The 3DNow! instruction set was introduced in 1998 as a competitor to Intel’s MMX. It added Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions to AMD’s base x86 instruction set, which helped the CPUs do vector processing of floating-point operations using vector registers....

AMD RX 7600 XT vs RX 7600 GPU faceoff: Is 16GB of video memory worth it in a budget GPU?

TheAMD RX 7600 XTfeels like one of the strangest graphics card’s AMD has released in recent times. Apparently inspired by the equally questionableNvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, the RX 7600 XT features 16GB of video memory but does little else to add performance compared to the vanillaAMD RX 7600— not that we loved the RX 7600 either, as it was more of a sideways step from the previous generation RX 6650 XT....
